FAQs

What is a hard money loan?

A hard money loan is simply a short-term loan that is used to acquire investment properties to rehab and either flip for resale or rent.

Why would it make sense to use a hard money loan?

A hard money loan allows a real estate investor to finance acquisition and renovation costs, which reduces out of pocket expense significantly. Hard money loans also close quickly and have less qualification requirements than conventional loans. These factors allow investors to compete for deals, retain needed capital, and maximize return on existing projects.
